Ripchord
Rilo Kiley
more adventurous

this song is really easy. i tabbed it out in like 5 minutes but i don't think it is wrong. 
it's close enough anyway to give you an idea. some chords of 
seem more abstract than the things i write, but do for yourself. check it...

CHORDS:
some of these power chords you can play open if you want, but when i saw them live he played 
them all as 5's (powerchords)

D5-x577(7)(5)
D/C#*-x476??
Bm-x24432
A5-577565 
G5-355433
A7-575655
E*-x779(10)x
F#5-244322
Bm/A-x04432


VERSES 1 & 2:
(run through the verse once without words. i think he plays variations of these chords 
so they're an octave up the time with no words, fyi.)

D5
pull the ripchord
    D/C#*
the ship has lost its sail
     Bm
your mama's got a new man
     A5
your daddy always fails
           G5              A5
and you're eating again at them
       Riff 1             D5    E?
'cause nobody loves you

    D5
and even fancy things
     D/C#*
have finally lost their charm
 Bm    
wanting diamond rings
     A5
that never get you anymore
       G5             A5
you're sleeping again alone
       Riff 1           D5    E?
'cause nobody loves you

CHORUS:
  G5    F#5
oooooooooooh
                 Bm
they should have seen you
            Bm/A
should have known you
            G5
should have known what it was like
A5         Riff 1 
to be       you

VERSE 3:
   D5
so come on kid
   D/C#*     
look at what you did
        Bm
I don't know if you meant it
        A5
but you did yourself in
          G5             A5
and I was even having a good day
         Riff 1             D5    E*
when I'd found out we lost you

CHORUS:
 G5      F#5
oooooooooooh
                       Bm              Bm/A
she said it was in the singing and the strumming
   G5                 A5        Riff 1
oh man I even saw it coming


run through verse with whistles, yada yada...it's all there.
etc

RIFF 1:
pretty basic, just an A7 with you putting your pinky on and off the B string's 7.

    A7
e---5---5-5-5-5---
b---5---5-7-7-7---
g---6---6-6-6-6---
d---5---5-5-5-5---
a---7---7-7-7-7---
